Pretty straightforward. Looking at the Big Ten teams and their current standings as well as the schedules they have ahead of them, speculate on where they'll end up.

I'll start:

Ohio State-15-0 baby (but I could also see a 13-2 season where we drop one regular season game, win the Big Ten championship, win our playoff semifinal, and then get to the championship game and lose)

Michigan-12-1 (only loss comes at the Buckeyes--they win the Rose Bowl against Utah or some other overmatched Pac-12 team, their fans yowl about how they could have beaten Bama or something--this is the highpoint of the Harbaugh years, it's all downhill from here)

Nebraska-11-3 (lose to the Buckeyes twice, lose their bowl game by a missed 2-point conversion because they're Nebraska)

Wisconsin-10-3 (losses to Michigan, OSU, and Nebraska, win their bowl game)

Michigan State-8-5 (lose to OSU and Michigan, lose their bowl game)

Indiana-8-5 (go 7-5, win their bowl game against a decent ACC team like North Carolina or Pitt)

Minnesota-8-5 (7-5, win their bowl game against some underperforming SEC team that everyone loved at the beginning of the season)

Penn State-7-6 (because it's part of their contract)

Maryland-7-6 (they go 6-6 and then win their bowl game)

Iowa-6-7 (Ferentz wins coach of the decade by being brave enough to "experiment with mediocrity")

Northwestern-4-8

Rutgers-3-9

Purdue-3-9

Illinois-1-11
